still the same. today i had a tiny bowl of yogurt and berries, some melon, orange slices and little container of cottage cheese. and i just DO NOT feel hungry AT ALL. physically i do, but nothing appeals, almost like in early pregnancy. does the nal make anyone else feel kind of wacked out like this? like i said, i feel like i am on a low dose of opoiod pain meds, esp when i drink on it, and with NO APPETITE. don't know if its cuz I am feel pukey or what, but i just feel s-p-a-c-e-d o-u-t.

MissKris, you are killing me with your menu - I swear I am totally distracted by your foods. It's almost like when you go into a restaurant in the last few years and every dadgum ingredient is described in the name of the dish itself. As in: "The special tonight is is a filet of sea bass lightly seared in a wine/butter reduction with fresh basil/oregano/couscous topped with a medly of shrimp/fresh crab & artichoke hearts"...HUH??? LOL

I will keep posting here just to get recipe ideas. Love it. A whole new thread: foods for the not-so-hungry, what goes with wine when I am seriously not int'd in drinking folk?!

Not to make light of the nausea & I am really sorry for that as I sometimes experience it myself. But MissKris, your descriptions of what you eat everyday just tickle me.

ok houtx. today i had a blueberry organic whole milk yogurt and for lunch i went to a fab vegetarian/organic restaurant in a healthfood store where i had a mixed field green salad with chickpeas, tomato, shredded carrot, and bell peppers with a delicious handmade vinaigrette and a piece of luscious broccoli, mushroom, and swiss cheese quiche and an iced herbal tea. my son had a 'not dog' served with granny smith apple slices and organic sea salt potato chips and fresh squeezed apple juice. i worked at the restaurant i waitress at tonight, and had some sesame teriyaki white meat chicken with steamed carrots and broccoli that were lightly tossed in in butter and garlic, which was the staff meal. i also enjoyed an iced latte before work. unfortunately, the yogurt was a baby size, i only ate about half of my quiche (though all the salad!) and a teeny rice bowl of staff meal, and this is after teaching a yoga class this morning, going to play at the park with my son, cleaning my entire house while he napped (including 2 loads of laundry) and busting my arse at the restaurant bc it is graduation for local colleges and on top of usual sat night crowd, WE WERE JAMMED!!! i should be s-t-a-r-v-i-ng! but luckily, NO desire to drink during the day, and down 2 units yesterday. today, usually would have had a few at work in the bathroom toward the end (around 10) from a water bottle full of wine i keep in my purse at work (i know, i am classy that way), but here it is 1:45 am and even though i got home at 12 only had about 3. yay!

but i am wondering where my appetite has gone!!?? i don't really need to lose weight, i could do with maybe 5 to 10 lbs or so, but more than that it could be a problem...will it come back? also, not feeling as spaced out tonight. i swear i felt like i was on oxy's or something the first 2 nights, and when i did take the nal today at work (cuz i knew i'd have a few), i get a definite distinction in my feelings, like i can breath more freely, i can feel constriction or something, it is mild, but i can definitiely 'feel' it in my system when it kicks in. just saying.

good. i hope it happens with me. see my drinking escalated in the past, oh, 2 months or so bc, well, obviously, i use alcohol to numb my pain habitually and my brain looks for that euphoria of escape to not have to deal. also, i have been going through some really awful painful scenarios. so i had found myself doing 'the things which we all say we will never do'. drinking in the morning, drinking at work, drinking all day long, drinking whenever you don't have to be anywhere you can't drink and people can't see you drink, ie holing yourself up so you can drink drink drink. Oh yeah. Cuz it is sooooooooo wayyy fun. Right? No. It frigging sucks and i am so grateful to know there is a way to break it!!! yay for us!
